Kanye West Says "Mama's Boy" Is "Bogus"

Threatens legal action-- although his own website posted it

Just two days ago, G.O.O.D. Music Blog, the blog of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, posted an unreleased song from the rapper, "Mama's Boyfriend" (or as it's being now referred to elsewhere, "Mama's Boy"). Now, the song's been taken down from the blog, and according to Billboard, Kanye's camp is claiming the song is "bogus" and is threatening to take legal action against whoever allegedly leaked it.In the statement to Billboard, Kanye's representatives claim that someone got their hands on the vocal track to the original song and added their own beat to it, "falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions." The missive goes on to state that "measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material." You can read the whole thing below, via Billboard.

"The version of the Kanye West recording "Mama's Boy" that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist's creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West's vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material."
